A Stranded Geek

Being a guy with geeky hobbies is hard when living in a rural area filled with horses and tricycles - there are no bookstores, no hobby centers, no comic shops..... not even dvd rental. ARGH!

OTHERS - Weird Stuff on the Net

Teenage Boy Blows Up the House with Deodorant [Telegraph UK] - A teenage who stayed at home while parents were on a holiday ended up blowing the roof off and causing £35,000 of damage. The guy was just washing some clothes on top of an electric cooker when he accidentally turned on the unit, before going out to meet friends. The heated ring of the unit set fire to the basket of clothes which also heated a nearby shopping bag containing the said deodorant. The deodorant exploded with such force that it not only blew out the windows, it also cracked the wall and lifted the roof off. I guess houses weren't built to be that strong in Europe.

Court Bars Man from Seeing Dog [Reuters] - The title alone sound like a beastiality relationship gone wrong but its really just a simple case of divorce settlements [now that sound's weird too.] A Spanish court has ruled out that dogs don't have the same privileges when it comes to allocated visiting rights on divorce cases.

Japan's New National Pastime? Panty Peeking [Mainichi] With a country with one of the largest porn industries in the world, men are now seeking new thrills - panty peeking. The article states that "many men openly admit that they'd prefer to see a woman in her undergarments than totally bereft of clothes." I guess with all the porn overload, men still want some thrill on their lives by checking out a woman's "last line of defense against the outside world." Either that or they got brainwashed by all the panty-flashing anime series out in their country.

Pregnant woman Due of 6.6.6 [Ananova] A pregnant woman wished to be induced because she's terrified she'll be giving birth to the Devil. The woman, who is due to give birth on June 6, 2006 or 6/6/6 stated to the Sun that she thought she is giving birth to Damien from the Omen.

Resident Evil Super Fan Movie [1Up] Someone's such a diehard fan for Resident Evil, he had to make a fan version of the game. British accents, bad vid quality, and pasty skin all makes up for this humorous adaptation. The original was done by Bently Bro's Productions and you can download a copy through the following link that they had provided. I originally embedded the video here but the movie autoplays even if it is set to stop at start.
